What one doesn’t know doesn’t hurt them nearly as much as what one thinks they know, but about which they have no clue.

Some of dumbest people I know have 4 year degrees, but they have zero common sense.
When I was a Drill Sergeant I had a trainee who had a Master's Degree from Harvard. He was enrolled in law school, ran out of grants, then joined the Army.

I've known a lot of smart people who don't hold degrees. Like i said earlier, those people don't go around bashing the educational reputation of certain schools simply because they don't like them or the fact that they are in the ACC.

You might as well be quoting a Marvel comic book or National Enquirer. Not saying something did/or/did not happen. I just would never trust Slate on anything.

The race card is a surefire get out of jail free card for the transfer year-in-residence. Let's face it, were it not for the pandemic, it was going to be gone anyway. They were scheduled to vote on it May 25, but that has been postponed indefinately.

I just posted that he will be immediatly eligible at Louisville, but now I see it's old news from 8/2. Looks like he will be in the CB rotation for the Cardinals.

Although, if you actually read the Slate hit piece, the professor's remark was really nothing, especially when compared to Jr.'s mask tweet. But what I got out of their hit piece is that Todd and Land couldn't put their politics aside enough to stay here and probably should never have come in the first place.Liberty22 wrote: ↑August 8th, 2020, 11:55 am I had heard rumblings that a lot of this had to do with a professor.

Also the funny thing is Todd came here knowing it was a conservative school but wanted to get closer to God. What she didn’t expect was the racism that’s displayed behind closed doors.
